I'm going to ATP: New York in September. Here is the line-up. It's a three day festival and it's a few days after the Monolith festival (2 days with lots of stairs), so it'll be a challenge to stand up.

I'm also going to see Future of the Left/Ted Leo/Against Me! October 21st.

So I basically just got into Tokyo Police Club but I'm digging how much they rock out (especially how the vocalist can go from delicate "The Weakerthans" mode to scratchy, Is This It-era "The Strokes" singing and back in the space of 30 seconds). And I found out they are coming to Austin in a month. Anyone seen them live? Are they not at least not terrible (for $14, I'm not going to hold out for "absolutely amazing," although that would be nice too)?

So it turns out I don't really like Elephant Shell all that much (I was listening to A Lesson in Crime when I thought "this is the fuggin' cat's pajamas") so I doubt I will wind up going to Tokyo Police Club.

But still! Cut Copy! I maintain hope that the crowd will make it worthwhile.

Aesop Rock - tuesday in Philly(hopefully) Finntroll - saturday in Philly (or friday in northern VA)Carcass is coming soon to Baltimore, Oct if I recall correctly.Nightwish at the end of SeptemberOpeth is gonna be here in BaltimoreAmorphis in northern VA Obituary is playing at some point in Baltimore.

Lastly (well, two different shows)Children of Bodom are playing here, in Baltimore, which is excellent.andAmon Amarth is touring with Ensiferum... which could make it the most EPIC show ever in the history of epic. I don't think the Troc in Philly can handle that much epic in one night.

Ugh, you lucky bitch. ATP is a continually unrealized dream for me.

If it makes you any less jealous, he's not going to the ATP England which had a 10,000,000x better line-up (thanks to mother-fuckin' EitS curating).

This Saturday at the Schlafly Tap Room parking lot there is a FREE mini festival going on. 4:00-1:30.

So Many Dynamos, Earthworms, ton of other bands.

By the way, the Pretty & Nice, Hyperbubble show was awesome. I had no Idea that the singer for The Sudden Passion was also the singer for the Femme Fatality until they started playing.

Unfortunately, The Makeshift Gentlemen seemed hokey. Their songs included overly obvious and heavy-handed lyrics referencing such movies as: Mystery Men, Wild Wild West, and Clockwork Orange. When they started a song by shouting "Are you ready for some ultra-violence," I went to the bar.

The Mountain Goats are so so amazing live. Possibly my favorite show, ever.

Anyway I'm seeing the Silver Jews on the 30th. Okkervil River is coming to town in October but I'm supposed to go to Richmond that weekend and the show is on a Thursday so I could do it but my boyfriend has this crazy idea of leaving Thursday night and driving all night. Plus I need a car to get to this venue. But fucking hell, it's Okkervil River. I'm going to have to negotiate these plans a little more (he seriously underestimates my love for this band, "all your music sounds the same").
